Soornack Says Her Hard Work Paid Off

This person was in no way duty-bound to answer any questions now that she has been cleared by courts of any wrong-doing. But the problem is with our press: the level of questions was abyssal, to say the least: what kind of person can, under the fake pretense of public knowledge, push curiosity to the point of enquiring about her grooming, lifestyle, personal choices, or worse, past marital problems? How will the Board of Directors of Radio-Sousou, Rweydi-Yo-Wouaan or poT-Ef-Em ever justify to their shareholders giving away air tickets to their reporters to go and ask this kind of obscene question? Pff, cringe-worthy at best.One thing though: when she replied that she worked hard to comply with procedures set in tender requirements, the one fact was laid glaringly bare: our own so-called investigative journalists have absolutely no idea, or only a fleeting indication, about how the procurement process works. It never came to their minds that our best institution (CPB) could leave out loopholes when it delegates some 'small' projects to specific para-statals, which the ones having replaced Soornack's AirWay Coffee have amply and lavishly exploited (better than her...?)Well done, madam: to have attracted so many of these parasitic flies around you may have been gratifying to an attention seeker, and to have given nothing away (while being amply supported by your numerous lawyers) to them and them being so disappointed reveals their crass mediocrity.Now what next?

Nepotism by those in power will never stop. The only bulwark against these kinds of abuse are two vital pieces of legislation : a Freedom of Information Act and a Public Interest Litigation Act. Being made aware of scandals by the press is not enough if one does not have the right to start a legal challenge relating to the misuse of public funds in his/her simple capacity of taxpayer.
